Becoming a Behavioral Detective: Understanding, Surviving and Supporting Complex Behaviors
This introductory workshop is designed to assist parents, teachers, caregivers, one-to-one
workers and professionals involved in the educational and mental health field learn to
support children with behavioral challenges and learning problems. The sensory
processing approach assists caregivers and professionals in “looking beyond the
behavior” and into the nervous system. It helps with understanding how the child’s
behavior is a manner of coping. Strategies in adapting the environment, altering
interaction and providing appropriate supports for children who have difficulty with
processing sensory information will be provided.
Many children with different diagnoses experience challenges in the manner in which
they process sensory information (for example, learning disabilities, developmental
coordination disorder, ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and
emotional behavioral disorders). This workshop is designed to assist in problem solving
behaviors and learning based on observations that look beyond the label.
Classroom Makeover
This one day workshop is a follow-up practical session to the Behavioral Detective
Workshop. This problem solving day provides teachers and parents with the opportunity
to design optimum environments and practice putting sensory strategies into action
